Unlike the photographs and posters on this board, this item is an ink drawing on paper: a working architectural record of the Illinois theater on East Jackson Boulevard near Michigan Avenue in Chicago, dated 1930. The Loop in that period was crowded with large movie houses and stage theaters, and drawings like this one show how such buildings were laid out and detailed. Its place in the Library of Congress's architecture, design and engineering holdings gives researchers a precise view of the building's plans and elevations, which photographs alone cannot supply.
